Essex Waterways Health and Safety Watch

The safety of waterway users, staff, volunteers and every visitor to the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation is of the greatest concern to us. There are procedures in place to try to ensure that every structure is properly maintained, and that the waterway corridor within our responsibility is managed in a way to promote a safe environment for everyone. In addition, we welcome advice from all users and visitors to the waterway about anything that might have been overlooked, or not yet come to our attention (e.g. a fallen or unsafe tree).

If you spot something that needs attention, then please let us know – either contact us or complete this form.
